he stands alone outside the blooming yard
all is calm there on the street
the shadows pass him hung right over
the pain on his face he knew he'd keep. his hair is long
and it's twisted
it's twisted
around the smile spread cheek to cheek
another child
another soul
grabs a hold
to the metal that will end his misery. one by one
we stand beneath the sun
with arms high open wide
two by two
he's getting you
to watch him as he leaves this life he knew
how much anger is set aside
as each one of us cries
red light they come and they take him away
in the thoughts
he'll be better
some day. tied tight
can't see out your eyes
that he's sure to shine
sure to shine
in this deep dark
fucked up
played out
reality show
so
who's the man
with the plan
eating up all that he can?
don't you see
don't you see. do you ever think that things are meant to be?
i know we all have our reasons why
and now the power of one human being
has gone and changed so many lives. one by one
we start to come undone. two by two
he's getting through to you. one by one we stand
we stand
we stand
over
over
you.
